The instructions say 'This system is for Massage Compression Mode: For Blood and Lymph Fluid Circulation, please Use Gradient Sequential Compression Circulation System." How do I get such a device?

Hummmm Mine is a Gradient Sequential Compression Circulation System Ohbiker. It has an on and off and a timer and it is absolutely wonderful. I used this item as pictured for daily usage for 2-3 months. Now, I have gone several moths without using it but apply vodka, magnesium flakes for the occasional RLS. But I plan to start using it again soon. I feel this is a long term care thing and not a quick fix. Really unsure where the instructions were that states this is for blood and lymph though I am sure it is doing just that as it does the gradual compressions up and down the legs. Best wishes...

no. no. you must be lying down on top of the unit. your weight is required for the desired effect. you may need to pad the rotating massage gears with towels if it is to strong.

In the sequential that is the one that I have you can feel the blood flowing it start compressing from your foot going up , it is like a linfactic drennage, is like have your massage therapist at home taking care of your legs ,it is a relieve . Is the same kind that I used 14 years ago when I had plastic surgery, it does make the blood flow , it is a little more expensive but you will thank yourself later.

The massage therapist I went to started with the feet ...and brushed them up towards the heart...then moved to legs...then back, then arms...then neck..everything moving towards the heart. She spent about 15 min total...and it was heaven. She said it wakes the body up to accept massage better!

I read on another site that the magnets are designed to provide an "acupressure" point to the skin it comes in contact with. I'm assuming that these magnets work like other wearable magnet therapy jewelry and devices, by increasing blood flow. That being said, the magnets are removable and I took mine out because I use the cups for massage as well and I didn't want the magnets poking me.

This is not ultrasound technology. This machine stings quite a bit so I stopped using it in my practice. This unit combines ems, rf and led light (although I think the led light has a minimal effect.). It mostly contracts muscles, and gets hot after about 15 minutes, but not hot enough for collagen contraction. They say it is like no needle mesotherapy. That's a stretch but it does plump the skin. By and large, I was unimpressed with this unit and it sits in my work drawer way in the back never to be used again.

Sorry I can't help on this device. I once made a bid, the only bid, on e-bay, but the supplier did not accept. Very annoying. However, I use two items that might be of interest. The first is a $20 blood pressure cuff from Walgreens. This helps me get my socks on. The other device is from Midari and costs about $130. It gives slowly (20 seconds) rising and falling pressure for 30 minutes. Here are its nominal dimensions. Laid flat the cuff shape is an arc that is 22 in across the top and 16 in. across the bottom. The peak height at the center is 9 in, at the sides it is 7 in. The instruction book is not in English, but I found the device easy to use. Sorry I can't help on this device.

There are instructions with the devise and it's very easy to use. Place the pads in the area where you have pain (about 2 to 3 inches apart). Turn devise on, pick the type of massage you perfer and pick a time limit. Because it is small you can slip into a pocket and go about your regular routine with no one wiser. I even drove over 500 miles at Thanksgiving with mine on, and it made the trip bearable. The directions that come with the box give many suggestions for placement. I love mine.

In a low-backed chair I hold onto both handles, lean forward slightly after turning the machine on, bring it over my head and place it where I need the pressure. Usually I have the large part of the motor housing facing downwards. The best is when lying down on your bed and adjusting the pressure on your neck and shoulders by putting a pillow under your shoulders to put you body higher than the Massager. If I want more pressure, I just get a thinner pillow or folded bath towel. Sometimes I reverse the position of the machine 180 degrees depending on what part of my spine needs pressure. But, as you noticed, it is heavy and clumsy. I would have designed it with the orbiting "fingers" off-set higher than the motor housing to get better contact with my trapezoid muscles by my neck and shoulders. All things considered, even though it's not perfect, it is better than the other gadgets I found.

I use mine to install both F and BNC connectors from IDEAL on RG-6 cable. I cannot recall which head setting I usebut I pick the one where the rear shoulder of the connector fits in to the groove then I adjust the compression distance to setthe compression ring to the point of seating and no more than that. As for the BNCs I use, I have to be certain thecable preparation is done properly or the center conductor will not mate up in to the center pin. Seems to take a lot of pressure to install the connector on the cable before using the compression tool and I try to feel for a "click"to know that the center conductor pin went in to the center pin correctly.

You lay on the floor or a hard surface,put your ankles on the top,turn the machine on, it moves every part of your body.You can feel thecirculation. especally good for people that are not able to get out and walk, but good for anyone.I like the machine and should use it at least twice a day. I wouldsuggest a yoga mat to lay on.It is a passive exercise where the machinemoves you, instead of you moving the machine.

There is no guide. I can only give my experience and what I was taught by my dear friend a retired RN who sells the products. I started out at a .50, and it is very hard to induce the kind of pressure you need for this collegian induction therapy. It is much easier for someone else to roll your skin properly with a needle you know can make you bleed. I bought the 1.0 not knowing the size of my first one and was amazed at the difference. Personally I suggest you buy one of each size (.25, .50 and 1.0) and a bottle of Barbicide to keep them clean. Different sizes will allow you to use what you are comfortable with where you are comfortable with it until you are ready to move up. I would stay away from a 1.5 or 2.0 until you learn the healing pattern of your shin. Remember that age and gravity pull down so you want to pull up... The same way a plastic surgeon does with a face lift procedure. Hope this helped.

It's handheld and pressure is applied using your own strength, vs the foam roller. I think it's easier to use because you don't have to be on the floor. You can use it standing or while seated. I think alternating the two would be beneficial. I own both and did not buy one to replace the other. I do think the foam roller provides a little deeper massage because you using body weight vs arm strength. Hope this helps.

It is a pretty powerful massager, but I would imagine if you submitted it to enough resistance it would slow down. I haven't ever put a lot of force/pressure on it, because there is no reason to. The pulsing motion goes pretty deep with only a firm pressure; therefore, I cannot envision any advantage of putting alot of pressure on it. This is not a milk toast vibrator, but instead does go deep into the tissues. Hope this response helps.

This does help and allows blood to flow to those areas . For myofascial trigger points i use nayoya back hook massager to release and then lay on my mat for blood flow and endorphins. The mat acts as a natural analgesic for me . These two products in concert work wonders. I will never be without them! The back hook us temporarily out of stock but Nayoya said it will be in within a couple of weeks . If you are not satisfied with the products Nayoya offers full a refund with no questions asked! You can't go wrong!!

It works like an automatic blood pressure machine, it progressively pumps up all the air cushions for a duration of your choice (from 20 sec to 60 sec), then releases the pressure (during like 5 seconds), then do it again, in loop, until 20 minutes, so you can let it go like that without touching any button for 20 minutes, then the machine stops automatically. According to how you plug the plastic wires blowing air (from the machine to the cushions), it can pump the combination of cushion of your choice (legs, thighs, etc... any kind of combination is possible).
